Bullock, who also produced the film, commented during the film's promotion on the type of story she wanted to tell:
:I want women to be able to do the same thing that men get to do in comedies and say, 'That's a comedy.' Why does it always have to be a romantic comedy? Why does the girl have to end up with the guy? Why can't it be a buddy film?
Plot summary
Set three months after the first film, FBI agent Gracie Hart (played by Bullock) has become a celebrity after she infiltrated a beauty pageant on her last assignment. Her fame results in her cover being blown while she is trying to prevent a bank heist.To capitalize on the publicity, the FBI decide to make Gracie the new "face" of the FBI; Gracie, who is still hurt after being dumped, agrees to the reassignment. She begins appearing on morning television giving out fashion advice and promoting her book.
However, when Miss United States (played by Burns) and Stan Fields (played by Shatner) are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie is prompted to get back to her old ways. She goes undercover to try and rescue them, accompanied by her bodyguard Sam Fuller (played by King). This puts her at odds with the FBI, as they are unwilling to lose their mascot and are unsure if she's still up to the task.
